Which of the following should be the next term in the given series? A8, B27, D125, G343, ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Series: A8, B27, D125, G343, ?

Letters increase as +1, +2, +3→ A, B, D, G

So, the next increase is +4, i.e., K.

Numbers are cubes of prime number → 23=8, 33=27, 53=125, 73=1331

So, the next prime is 113=1331

Therefore, the next term is K1331

Hence, the correct answer is option (1).
